Detailed explanation-1: -Why does Hamlet say Polonius is at supper? When Claudius first asks Hamlet where he put Polonius’ body, Hamlet tells him he is at supper. He explains that he is not eating but being eaten himself by worms. Hamlet uses this analogy of worms eating a body to describe the fact that Polonius is dead.
Detailed explanation-2: -Now it’s Claudius’ turn to demand that Hamlet tell him where Polonius’ corpse is. Hamlet responds with morbid jokes, pointing out that Polonius is at “supper"-that is, he’s being eaten by worms for dinner.
Detailed explanation-3: -*Hamlet tells the king that Polonius is at “supper", meaning he is the supper for the magots in the ground. *He reveals that the body is stuffed under the steps and they will be able to find him by the smell.
Detailed explanation-4: -Within, Hamlet describes how a man can catch a fish with a worm that has eaten from the king and then the fish will be eaten by the man. This basically means that death is an equalizer and even someone as mighty as a King can be used as something to help feed the common man.
